Silly Virus Tricks Are For Kids

Hi Guys I'm having a major issue here. A few days ago I downloaded what I thought to be an honest activex script to watch a tv-show online, turns out I was wrong. Upon installing the exe I was greeted with 4 shell windows, locked out from my task manager usage, and at a steady 100% cpu usage constantly. I've run AVG, CCleaner, and Spybot to try and clear this nonsense out. I downloaded a new task manager (Process Explorer) and was able to regain some control. It also changed my background and screen saver to screens that had little bugs crawling across the screen (blue background). Other issues include ridiculously long start up times (sometimes my comp freezes before it even gets passed the Windows XP loading screen.) 1 of my 2 SATA drives not showing up in My Computer and random crashes (unless of course I'm in safe mode...then everything seems to be fine.) All my other tools say that I'm clean, but there's obviously still something going on here that I can't seem to get a handle on. Any help would be awesome and amazing. Thanks, Here's my HijackThis log from inside safemode.
